and there are few spots, except above the 

 lateral lines. 



I have seen the Par so numerous in the 

 Eiver Dovey, in Wales, that a man (a guide), 

 took my salmon rod, and a cast of four small 

 flies, the sun shining, and in two hours he 

 killed nine pounds weight of these fish, about 

 a finger in length or less. It perfectly sur- 

 prised me; but it seems that this was but a 

 small quantity in comparison to what the fishers 

 were in the habit of taking out in a day. It 

 appeared so, as the inn-keeper's wife potted 

 them in large jars. These rivers abound with 

 Sewen, Sea-Trout, and White Trout ; the first- 

 named fish is the White Trout of Wales, which 

 corresponds with the Irish fish of that name, 

 and called in Wales, Sewen. The Par may be 

 the fry of these fish, which are of the Salmon 

 species, and ought to be protected by law.
